To Hazard All: A Guide to the Maryland Campaign, 1862 (Emerging Civil War Series) Kindle Edition

by Robert Orrison (Author), Kevin Pawlak (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.5 out of 5 stars 34 ratings
Experience the history of the Maryland Campaign with this Civil War chronicle and guide featuring battlefield information and day-trip itineraries.

In the summer of 1862, the world watched anxiously as Confederate armies advanced across a thousand-mile front. Reacting to the Army of Northern Virginia’s trek across the Potomac River, George B. McClellan gathered the broken and scattered remnants of several Federal armies within Washington, D. C., to repel the invasion and expel the Confederates from Maryland. “Everything seems to indicate that they intend to hazard all upon the issue of the coming battle,” he said of the invading force.

Historians Robert Orrison and Kevin Pawlak trace the routes both armies traveled during the Maryland Campaign, ultimately coming to a climactic blow on the banks of Antietam Creek. That clash on September 17, 1862, remains the bloodiest single day in American history. To Hazard All offers several day trip tours and visits many out-of-the-way sites related to the Maryland Campaign.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent handbook for the 1862 MD Campaign!
    Reviewed in the United States on October 5, 2019
    Kudos to fellow ABG Kevin Pawlak and co-author, Robt Orrison in producing this fine handbook on the 1862 MD Campaign. “To Hazard All” is one of the most thorough guides for anyone for anyone, from the Civil War novice to the more serious students. What makes this pub unique to other campaign guides is that the authors give a thorough prelude to the campaign with details of travel routes, etc. all the way through to include the beginning of the 2nd VA Campaign, ending with McClellan being relieved on Nov 7, 1862. This guide takes you to many interesting sites but because of its extensive coverage and length of travel with broader description, the user would benefit from a companion reference that gives a bit more detail on Antietam and South Mountain. Nice job, guys!

    5.0 out of 5 stars An Excellent Overall Look at the Maryland Campaign
    Reviewed in the United States on September 24, 2018
    To Hazard All is a welcome addition to the library of anyone interested in getting out to see the locations where important events of the Maryland Campaign took place. Like all the books in the Emerging Civil War series it is meant to provide an overall look at the Maryland Campaign and does not specifically focus on the Battle of Antietam. However the authors provide many interesting and specific details about the campaign. Maps are often overlooked in many books but Kevin and Rob include many great detailed maps which help our understanding. There are also a large number of period images and photos taken by the authors to round out the book. The narrative is interesting and easy to follow. In short, though targeted for a more general audience, this book will benefit any student of the Maryland Campaign. I am a guide at Antietam and will be recommending this book to anyone interested in learning more about the Maryland Campaign. Well done.

    2.0 out of 5 stars Driving Tour book, but little background - soon to be outdated
    Reviewed in the United States on July 2, 2023
    The subtitle of this book could be improved if it was listed as “A driving tour guide to the Maryland Campaign, 1862”. Even then, though, I would probably not rate it any higher than I already did. Why? Two main reasons:
    1. This book will go out of date within a couple of years – some of the areas discussed is under development and the roads and fields mentioned will be altered. So, the direction given will no longer be valid.
    2. More importantly, this is a niche book. It will only serve those who already know a lot about the campaign, the main leaders, and the main decisions made during it. So, this becomes an adjunct for those who want to see the actual territory.
    The 1862 Maryland Campaign has many books written about it and many thousands of pages. The reasons for why it was undertaken, how it unfolded, what took place during the key events of it, and descriptions of the battles the took place – each of these areas are covered in many books, articles, and monographs. To learn about it, there are many sources. To examine the various events and controversies that took place during it, there is lots of material and - believe it or not – new material is discovered and published even now, 160 years later.

    This book assumes you know all of that. It takes you along the routes of the Federal and Confederate lines of march and points out where some of the sites are. Many of the listed sites are where this or that general happened to stay during the campaign – brief as it may have been. Some battle sites are pointed out. However, there are few battle descriptions. For detailed battle descriptions you have to look elsewhere.

    The book does feature a lot of photographs of the people involved as well as the locations mentioned. Some of the location shots are of what they look like when the research for the book was conducted. As someone who travels frequently to Washington D.C. though that area, I recognized many of the locations and noticed that some already look difference than what the authors published as recently as 2018! Some of the photographs seem to be placed in there just to fill space. Several are supposed to show how Generals could view valleys, but the photo is so indistinct you could not tell if you were looking at a valley, nor whether it was wooded, under cultivation, or urban.

    To summarize, this slim volume is not of much use unless you are planning on a driving tour to visit some of these sites over the next couple of years and already have significant knowledge of the Maryland Campaign.
